Hi
I am ordering a new shirt and was wondering if anyone has any idea when the squad numbers are released? I will have Hall on the back so don't think he will change his number but just wanted to check?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure 1-13 will be as last year apart from moon and hardaker

Double post

I'd go for:-

1. Zak Hardaker (FB)
2. Ben Jones-Bishop (LW)
3. Calum Wakins (LC)
4. Joel Moon (RC)
5. Ryan Hall (RW)

6. Danny McGuire (SH)
7. Rob Burrow (H)

8. Kylie Leuluai (PF)
9. Paul McShane (H)
10. Jamie Peacock (PF)
11. Jamie Jones-Buchanan (SR)
12. Carl Ablett (SR)
13. Kevin Sinfield (SO)

14. Mitch Achurch (SR/PF)
15. Brett Delaney (SR/PF)
16. Ryan Bailey (LF/PF)
17. Ian Kirke (PF)

18. Darrell Griffin (PF)
19. Richard Moore (PF)
20. Stevie Ward (LF/SO)
21. Jimmy Keinhorst (LC/RC)
22. Chris Clarkson (LF/SR)
23. Brad Singleton (PF)
24. Liam Hood (H)
25. Luke Briscoe (LW/RW/SO)

Agree with that squad list....now with Moon in is it better for Leeds to loan out the likes of Keinhorst, Hood and maybe Singleton as pack competition has gone up with Ablett heading back to 2nd row. McShane obviously benefited last year at widness and BJB did when he went to London.

Widness need a back up 9 and also potentially a and prop. Salford need more but similar possibilities

Can't see Moore promoted to the top 20 in place of Clarkson (who'll probably keep 1icon_cool.gif.

Moon has been given the number 4 so that means Hardaker will wear 1 next year. I think eveyone else will keep the same numbers with the only remaining vacant shirts 14 (L.Smith) and 19 (Hauraki) going to Achurch and probably Stevie Ward.

Delaney HAS to keep the 15 shirt, he broke the curse!

I think you have missed 4 players out too. Not that they will be in the top 20 but worth a mention.

Jamel Chisolm
Jimmy Watson
Alex Foster
Vickery Dickery Doc

1. Zak Hardaker
2. Ben Jones-Bishop
3. Kallum Watkins
4. Joel Moon
5. Ryan Hall
6. Danny McGuire
7. Rob Burrow
8. Kylie Leuluai
9. Paul McShane
10. Jamie Peacock
11. Jamie Jones-Buchanan
12. Carl Ablett
13. Kevin Sinfield
14. Mitch Achurch
15. Brett Delaney
16. Ryan Bailey
17. Ian Kirke
18. Chris Clarkson
19. Stevie Ward
20. Darrell Griffin
21. Richard Moore
22. Luke Briscoe
23. Jamel Chisholm
24. Liam Hood
25. Jimmy Watson

Martin Gleeson replaces Joel Moon at Salford.

Wow, that guy gets some chances doesn't he?

Gleeson!! Really!!!

Great player but comes with a tun of baggage. One of those players whose ego outweighs his skill.

I don't think Gleeson has been a great player since a couple of good years at ST's FB very over-rated and an obvious c###!

Confirmed

1 Zak Hardaker....(Brent Webb)
2 Ben Jones-Bishop
3 Kallum Watkins
4 Joel Moon....(Zak Hardaker)
5 Ryan Hall
6 Danny McGuire
7 Rob Burrow
8 Kylie Leuluai
9 Paul McShane
10 Jamie Peacock
11 Jamie Jones-Buchanan
12 Carl Ablett
13 Kevin Sinfield
14 Stevie Ward....(Lee Smith)
15 Brett Delaney
16 Ryan Bailey
17 Ian Kirke
18 Chris Clarkson
19 Mitch Achurch....(Weller Hauraki)
20 Darrell Griffin
21 Richard Moore
22 Jimmy Keinhorst....(Jay Pitts)
23 Brad Singleton
24 Liam Hood
25 VACANT....(Stevie Ward)....(to be given to 1 of the younger players training with the first team during pre-season)

So McShane and Hood still in the mix...

Looking down the list as a whole - best Leeds squad ever?

Not sure about the best Leeds squad ever with the likes of Peacock and Kylie well past their prime years but it is a more well balanced looking squad than last year.

That Leeds side is more than capable of a top 2 finish,but with the distractions of the WCC again and the CC still a big target for the group then its hard to see the season shaping up much differently in its approach from us than the last couple TBH.
